COVID-19学生应急基金

COVID-19学生应急基金

Franklin University understands that many students are facing unexpected financial hardships due to COVID-19 and wants to reassure you that we are here to help.

The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II and III (HEERF II and III) are authorized by the recently enacted 联邦 Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) and The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act to provide emergency relief funding to colleges and universities. These funds are considered the second and third round of COVID-19 emergency funding which replaces the criteria of CARES Emergency Funding (HEERF I) that was made available to schools in April 2020.  The purpose of HEERF II and HEERF III funds are to assist eligible students with emergency costs such as food, 住房, 课程材料, 学费, 卫生保健, 或因COVID-19而产生的托儿费用.

常见问题 & 额外的信息

如果我符合资格，我什么时候可以收到助学金?
由于紧急拨款申请的数量, 申请决定最多需要15个工作日. We will work very hard to get 决定s made as soon as possible. Please monitor your student email account for a 决定 notification or for additional document requests. 如有疑问，请联系 covid19@speckythirdeye.com. 

我会收到多少钱?
美国niversity received a limited amount of HEERF Emergency funds. Applications will be reviewed to verify eligibility and funds will be awarded based upon exceptional need and available funds. Grant awards are not guaranteed for every application submitted nor is it guaranteed that students will be able to receive the full amount requested.

为什么我在没有申请的情况下获得第二轮高等教育资助基金?
作为特殊需要确定的一部分, Franklin University identified students who had an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) on the 2020-21 FAFSA of $0 as a recipient of a HEERF II award to help with internet and technology needs. Students who received this award are still able to apply for additional funding if there are other COVID-19 related expenses.

HEERF紧急基金会影响我的经济援助吗?
No. This is an emergency grant for COVID-19 circumstances; it will not impact your eligibility for other federal Title IV or state funds.

资金将如何分配?
Emergency grants will be issued by direct deposit into bank accounts for students who are enrolled through Bank Mobile. Students without direct deposit will receive their grant check in the mail. We strongly encourage these students to enroll in the direct deposit option so funds can be received quickly. There will also be an option on the application to have emergency funds awarded for 学费 and courseware fees applied directly to your semester balance. 

如果我欠大学的学费或其他费用怎么办?
We are not permitted to apply any HEERF emergency funds directly to a student account for an outstanding balance owed unless we have the consent to do so from the student. The full amount of the emergency grant will be given directly to the student through direct deposit or check unless otherwise noted on the application.

Why does Franklin require an application when other schools do not?  
美国.S. 教育部 has left the responsibility to schools to determine how to distribute emergency funding and how to identify students with exceptional need. Franklin University has determined the best way to do this is by an application and the student certification statement.

What is the difference between HEERF II and III funds and the CARES Act/HEERF I Emergency Funding? 
HEERF II and III funds eligibility requirements are different than the CARES Grant funding or HEERF I that was made available in 2020 for the first round of emergency COVID-19 funding. New regulations open up the eligibility criteria and allows us the ability to help more students with emergency funding.

I received a CARES Emergency Grant previously, am I still eligible to apply for new HEERF funds? 
Students who were previously approved for a CARES Emergency Grant/HEERF I may still apply and receive the new HEERF funding 

What if I lost my job or had a reduction in income due to COVID-19?
Job loss or reduction of income has unfortunately been very common during the pandemic. 如果学生, 学生的配偶, or student’s parent (if dependent) has lost their job or had a reduction of income due to COVID-19 or any other circumstances we highly recommend students to applying for a Special Circumstance review to accurately adjust the financial impact of the loss of income on the FAFSA. 特殊情况上诉可在 特殊情况网页.
